Note du spécialiste

Travellers and two porters carrying a client in a kago [traveling chair] are forced to run through a sudden and heavy rainstorm near the town of Shono in Ise Province. The umbrella of the figure on the right has two inscriptions: Takenouchi, the publisher of the series, and Gojusan tsugi ['Fifty-three stations'], part of the title of the series.
